Yeah, I can see that. I'll likely pair it with the CFF down the road. Isn't the third card in the trifecta a business card though?

It is usually either CSR/CSP, along with CFF and CFU. Both of those have added 3% on dining and drugstores to their normal rewards fairly recently. Chase has a strong offering.

I'm really hoping this rumored revamp is coming with 3x on at least dining with the CSP. I'm pretty sad that I rarely get to use my CSP these days, since I throw all dining on the CFU. This is causing me to not get enough dining spend to use the Pay Yourself Back 25% bonus as much as I would want to on my CSP. Recently, my CSP is just getting some tolls, and the odd dining with a Chase Offer.
So I went ahead and applied for the CSP, and got the 7-10 day message. I wasn't surprised at all, given how often that seems to happen (usually for verification purposes). But what do I do now? Do I wait a few days and call? Which of the several back door numbers listed do I call? I went through every thread I could find but there doesn't seem to be a standard operating procedure other than to "call in a few days." I called one of the numbers I found in a thread (1-800-432-3117) and it just gave me the same 7-10 day message).
Of course there's always a chance it can be a denial so I'm prepared to do a recon as well. I'm just not patient enough for this!!
I have no idea if appropriate staff are available 24/7 at Chase or other big credit card issuers, but perhaps the wait will persist only until morning or whenever underwriting staff is back?
Sleep?
So I've been checking the status line every day and it changed to the 2 week message. I've been tempted to call the verification line, but each time I called, the wait was at least 1 hour +, so I figured I'd wait until next week. Well, I just checked my email and got this message:
So part of the mystery has been solved, but what CL did I get?? Looking forward to getting this next week!
@KLEXH25 congrats on your new card!
